Getting window up WITHOUT door control switch?
Well I recently sent my drivers side door control switch out and forgot to put my window up all the way, oops! Anyways I want to wash the car and drive it without having to make sure it cannot rain. Any way I can get the window up without the door switch? Thanks!

You do realize that that will aslo zero out the PCM (thus negating any aftermarket tune you may have had), and reset the security code in the radio to a random number and also probably switched the polarity in the headlight controller (up is now down, so you'll have to either drive with them up but off, or install mirrors and drive with them on but down).
Sorry.....couldnt resist.....
It was something that clicked in my head when Mr. Bill made the observation of how counterintuitive it seemed to connect 12V to black ground.
Really....forgive me . . .
